McDonald Douglas MD-81 Incident Information from the Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Center: <http://www.jacdec.de/j_report-00n16884.htm> Date: 16 June 2000 Time: 0500 local Location: Newark Airport New Jersey Company: Continental Airlines Registration: N16884 During engine test runs at gate 114, the empty aircraft ran foreward and collided with the passenger terminal C. At the time of the accident, the aircraft was prepared for the 1st flight of the day and 6 cleaners were aboard the plane, who received minor injuries in the collision. Presumably, the maintenance workers forgot to set the aircraft´s parking brake (incl. wheel chocks ).
